Use the latest features of C17 for improving the performance of your Qt applications

Book Description

Qt is a powerful development framework that serves as a complete toolset for building cross-platform applications, helping you reduce development and improve productivity. Completely revised and updated to cover C17 and the latest developments in Qt 5.12, this comprehensive guide is the third edition of Application Development with Qt Creator.

You'll start by designing a user interface using Qt Designer and learn how to instantiate custom messages, forms, and dialogues. You'll then understand Qt's support for multithreading, a key tool for making applications responsive, and the use of Qt's Model-View-Controller (MVC) to display data and content. As you advance, you'll learn to draw images on screen using Graphics View Framework and create custom widgets that interoperate with Qt Widgets. This Qt programming book takes you through Qt Creator's latest features, such as Qt Quick Controls 2, enhanced CMake support, a new graphical editor for SCXML, and a model editor. You'll even work with muldia and sensors using Qt Quick, and finally develop applications for mobile, IoT, and embedded devices using Qt Creator.

By the end of this Qt book, you'll be able to create your own cross-platform applications from scratch using Qt Creator and the C programming language.
